Abstract

The objective of the present study is to empirically examine the effect of knowledge sharing and trust on psychological capital and emotional intelligence (EI). The study also investigates the relationship between psychological capital and EI on organizational excellence. The role of gender as a moderator is examined in these relationships. The survey data were collected from 792 faculty members from three premier higher educational institutions from the southern part of India. After checking the psychometric properties of the survey instrument, data were analysed using hierarchical regression. The results obtained demonstrate that (a) knowledge sharing is significantly and positively related to psychological capital and EI, (b) trust is significantly and positively related to psychological capital and EI, (c) psychological capital and EI are significantly and positively related to organizational excellence and (d) gender moderated the relationship between (a) knowledge sharing and psychological capital, (b) knowledge sharing and EI, (c) trust and psychological capital, and (d) trust and EI. The implications for management are discussed.
